lvl 60 wizard skill Meteor has timer conflict with firebolt

it's upsetting to work so hard getting to level 60 on mercury and discover my strongest nuke Meteor cooldown timer also becomes the cooldown timer of my firebolt nuke.

I can't use Meteor and firebolt nuke in quick succession. :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

even with maxed life control on, i am having a hard time 1-hitting pure str chinese using mana shield. i need to be able to use Meteor+firebolt to stand a chance in pvp.

Use invisibility and catch them unprepared (not using snow shield).

I think its part of JM's way to balance the game. I wouldve loved to double ghost walk, but shadow shares its cooldown with phantom :/.

meteor cooldown is 10 secs so it means 10 secs cooldown for firebolt too if you use meteor first.

anyway, i decided to just use firebolt first coz it only has 3 sec cooldown then follow it with meteor and pray to hell the pure str chinese is dead coz meteor cooldown of 10 secs is too long.

farmed too little. i had to keep up with the hardcore botters, highest level on mercury now are 75+++. my earth and ice trees aren't up to date. i had to focus on fire tree coz it gives the biggest damage plus fast cooldown.

Try this: Meteor skill then your highest level Lightening (nuke) skill that should take them out :P

maybe meteor followed by earth charge might work, or maybe u can use the fear status light skill and hope 2 god it works and use ice spear then use meteor again

thanks for all the replies.

it's only my fire tree that's good. my ice bolt is lvl 9 and my earth shock is lvl 6. i did not bother farming enough SP in my rush to get to lvl 60.

so i am gonna stick to firebolt+meteor combo. kinda gay coz i am doing a weaker first-hit nuke. my lvl 1 meteor makes 20-30% more damage than my lvl 14 fire bolt.

i am still hoping that joymax will fix this cooldown timer bug of meteor skill. it should not affect firebolt, just like the fire nukes of chinese. until then, i am keeping meteor lvl 1.

Doubt it's a bug. Earth shock should be more then enough to finish the job if it's farmed to your level against pure str +5 lvls above you.

I would imagine being able to pull off your two hardest hitting nukes in rapid succesion would be a bit unfair to chinese. I just tested it and even fire blow took out a 68 glaiver on the second hit after meteor.

Meteor pwns!

Use earth shock dude, 2nd strongest nuke!

Yeah it don't think that it is a glitch, so it will stay like that. Wizzy are the hardest nukers so they are limited by not being able to do their 2 strongest nukes back to back. Good think you got many others you can use in its place. . .farm a little and its problem solved.

use all the nukes you have. that actual damage of them doesnt make that much of a difference, its the % that follows the damage that makes the biggest difference, learned this from my lvl 80 nuker, light nuke book 2 isnt much weaker than light nuke book 3, technically u can use them back to back and do good damage, try using one of ur lower nukes

EDIT: sp mistake
